Campus-Wide AV Broadcast Work
A campus-wide AV broadcast is a video, audio, and control system that enables the distribution of AV content across a network. This technology can be used to distribute daily announcements, important alerts, pre-recorded school news programs, and live streaming of educational and entertainment content. It’s a powerful tool for the delivery of education technology, and it is also applicable for other applications such as delivering customized school bell tones and playing custom announcement messages in text format on display devices.
The rapid development of AV over IP (AV-over-IP) and software defined AV deployments has transformed traditional AV infrastructures in many environments, including the college environment. Schools can deploy the Q-NEX Media Server, Networked Media Processor (NMP), and Media Box (MBX) to enable the distribution of AV content over the internet.
AV-over-IP is the standardized technology to deliver a high quality, digitally encoded, live streaming audio and video signal over standard 1GB ethernet networks, using software-based routing to send a single audio, video, or control channel across the entire network without any need for a point-to-point connection. It is a reliable, easy to use, and affordable technology to provide seamless distribution of AV over the Internet.
How Does a Campus-Wide AV Broadcast Work?
For more than 40 years, the Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida, has delivered a comprehensive, real-world entertainment, media, arts, and emerging technologies education. The school’s creative approach provides an immersive learning experience that mirrors the workflow and collaboration found throughout today’s music, performance, and AV industries.
Full Sail has embraced a campus-wide Dante audio network that is used regularly in studios, production areas, and live performance spaces, as well as as part of their classroom instruction. The Dante platform enables the transport of AV signals to anywhere in the network over a 1GB ethernet network with perfect digital fidelity, and it has become an integral component in the university’s infrastructure.
Providing Access: It is important for schools to ensure that students can have access to any type of smart classroom technology. This means ensuring that every student has a laptop or tablet that is compatible with the system and that they have access to a wireless network in their school.
